The Family Business Stewardship Institute (FBSI) prepares family business owners, shareholders, and stakeholders (including non-owner spouses and future owners) for effective stewardship of their family enterprise and for the significant and sometimes unpredictable transitions and decisions that must be made to determine the success and continuity of the family business.
Family business owners, shareholders, and stakeholders (including non-owner spouses and future owners) looking for ways to ensure effective stewardship of their family enterprise.
FBSI meets 6 times over the course of 18 months. The 2023 cohort launches with its first meeting on October 4-5, 2023. Typically, FBSI meets on Loyola's Water Tower Campus at the Schreiber Center, located at 16 E. Pearson Street.

No other program out there offers this level of comprehensive family business education. Thought leaders, subject matter experts, and live case studies, along with confidential peer-to-peer learning, are all here to help you develop a set of tools and resources to foster responsible and effective stewardship. Take what you learn and help steer your family business to an even brighter future.
The goal of the program is to provide you with a comprehensive look at six key areas of family business: relationships, governance, leadership, finance, strategy, and transitions. During meetings, you will look closely at how each of these areas plays a vital role in healthy and successful family businesses. Outside of meetings, you’re encouraged to take what you’ve learned back to your family business, see what impact it has, and report back to your peers on your challenges and successes.
Each meeting is a melting pot of family business CEOs, shareholders, family council members, non-family business employees, and managers. This trusted and confidential group will support you on your journey and help you understand how to develop a family strategy for responsible ownership. Many FBSI participants maintain a connection to their fellow peers beyond graduation.

“For anyone who has not spent time talking with other family business owners, I cannot express how
valuable it is. The ability to talk in an environment that was confidential and where you were going to come back again and again and engage each other was invaluable. For me, there was a freedom in FBSI that I could not find anywhere else.”
